Article meets requirements, QPQ done, no close paraphrasing found, adequate sourcing. The only issue is that neither of the two sentences that mentions the hook fact (i.e. the "hill of chiefs" fact) has a footnote. I'm aware that the reference for that is later in the article, but DYK rules require that the sentence mentioning the fact needs a reference, even if it's already used elsewhere.

Fixed; I've added the Lonely Planet ref to that sentence. —Giantflightlessbirds (talk) 02:05, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Miss Free could probably do arithmetic[edit]

"The first full-time librarian, a Miss Free, was appointed in 1908 at a salary of £60 (she remained on staff for 22 years, later as Assistant Librarian, resigning in 1942).[4]"

22+1908 would be 1930, not 1942. She might have had leave in the intervening years (maternity leave in the 1910s?). I don't have access to the book in reference 4 to check. IAmNitpicking (talk) 12:45, 31 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

She did indeed leave at some point in the intervening years and rejoined the library. The book wasn't precise about the dates, just the "22 years". —Giantflightlessbirds (talk) 05:41, 1 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
